St. Louis City SC beat writer Tom Timmermann and co-host Beth O'Malley reflect on another blown lead by City SC, which continues to allow late goals that continue to cost them. If City SC could hold leads, it would be in playoff contention. But it can't, so it isn’t. Subscribe to the Post-Dispatch
Tom Ackerman talks to Lutz Pfannenstiel about St. Louis City SC's recent performance against Chicago Fire, the frustration of conceding late goals, and the mental aspect of closing out matches. Lutz also discusses interim coach David Critchley's leadership, squad rotation, and the impact of new players like Fallou Fall. The conversation shifts to City2's 13-game unbeaten streak in MLS Next Pro, highlighting their confidence and playoff push with an upcoming home game against Sporting KC2. Looking ahead, Lutz previews City SC's next match against Vancouver, the challenge of facing a top team, the arrival of new signings like Thomas Müller, and the influence of a new coach.
Marc opens the hour with casual Friday chatter, sweepstakes reminders, and weekend plans before pivoting to major news: the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, ICE updates, and Southwest Airlines cutting Lambert Airport flights. He critiques media coverage of local politics and crime, noting selective reporting and potential hypocrisy. The hour includes Kim on a Whim, spotlighting short-term rental issues in St. Louis and Clayton's new ordinance to allow limited Airbnb-type rentals in older buildings. Local culture gets a boost with a feature on Cottle Village, a new Saint Charles entertainment and dining spot. Finally, Marc tackles media double standards in politically charged stories, contrasting the coverage of Caruso's pride flag incident with the delayed reporting on a MAGA-hat-wearing fan ejected from a St. Louis City SC game. Styx ticket giveaways and listener engagement round out the hour.

Hour 1 opens with Ryan Recker recapping his explosive interview with Michael Weitzel, a St. Louis City SC season ticket holder ejected from CITYPARK for simply wearing a MAGA hat—no misconduct, no warning, just political discrimination. In Kim on a Whim, Kim and Ryan torch the hypocrisy of illegal immigrants staging a hunger strike at a Florida detention center while demanding "respect" after breaking U.S. law, drawing a sharp analogy to Trump's America-first policies as a tough but necessary dietary reset. Later, they highlight Pope Leo's “Catholic Woodstock” that drew over a million youth to Rome, sparking hope that traditional values could revive the faith in North America. Kim introduces Christian artist Forrest Frank, whose song Lemonade hit #1 on the charts despite its faith-based lyrics, proving Christian music can go mainstream. The hour wraps with Ryan reflecting on his return to movie theaters this summer—and why it felt like rediscovering a lost piece of joy.
Hour 3 opens with Ryan Recker filling in for Mark Cox, revisiting the explosive story of a St. Louis City SC season ticket holder kicked out for wearing a MAGA hat, exposing woke double standards and potential DOJ involvement. Ryan and Kim dive into the congressional recess drama with Fox News Radio's Ryan Schmels, highlighting fundraising, power struggles, and uncertain futures for Republican and Democratic incumbents. Jeff Manasso then breaks down the wild auto market, soaring car payments, refinancing options, and what buyers can expect as interest rates potentially drop. Finally, Ryan tackles the fallout from Stephen Colbert's “Late Show” cancellation, contrasting it with Greg Gutfeld's Fox success, and critiques CBS's left-leaning content that's alienating viewers and draining millions in losses.
Ryan Wrecker chats with Tom Ackerman, sports director at KMOX, about the Cardinals' disappointing season and Nolan Arenado's uncertain future amid injuries and trade rumors. Ackerman emphasizes the need for the Cardinals to rebuild through solid drafting, developing, and retaining talent—citing successful models like the Milwaukee Brewers. The conversation then shifts to the recent controversy over a St. Louis City SC fan being ejected for wearing a MAGA hat, with Ackerman expressing frustration about politics creeping into sports. They close on a lighter note reminiscing about classic TV sports reporters from WKRP in Cincinnati and Frasier, debating who would make the better sportscaster.
Hour 4 opens with Ryan Wrecker filling in, diving into the ongoing Boeing worker negotiations and the curious standoff despite a 20% raise offer and scrapping of unpopular schedules. The political heat turns toward historic scrutiny of Democrat nominees, immigration enforcement realities, and the messy game of redistricting that benefits Democrats by counting illegal immigrants for congressional seats. The conversation shifts to President Trump's explosive Newsmax interview revisiting Russiagate and potential fallout, with legal experts weighing in on presidential immunity and the strategy of working “up the chain” to hold key players accountable. Sports get center stage with Tom Ackerman from KMOX breaking down the Cardinals' challenges, trade prospects, and the importance of returning to a strong player development model like the Milwaukee Brewers. The controversial St. Louis City SC incident ejecting a fan for wearing a MAGA hat draws criticism, with Ackerman calling for sports to remain apolitical. Ryan closes the hour highlighting actor Ty Burrell's move out of Hollywood for a simpler life, praising celebrities who leave the chaos behind. The Sydney Sweeney jeans ad controversy draws laughs and eye rolls, questioning why it became a political issue and why President Trump even commented on it.
